Lloyd has been a significant drag on the Packers' rushing game, accounting for -75 RYOE (rushing yards over expected) out of the team's collective -116 RYOE this season. This indicates Lloyd has consistently underperformed the expected yardage for his carries given down, distance, and field position, contributing substantially to the Packers ranking 32nd in total rushing yards.

MarShawn Lloyd accounts for -75 of the Packers' staggering -116 total Rushing Yards Over Expected (RYOE) this season, indicating he has significantly underperformed what he should be gaining based on historical datasets and down-and-distance context.

Lloyd's opportunity as the Packers' lead back is ending with Josh Jacobs poised to return vs. the Lions. Jacobs is expected to immediately step back into a bell-cow role to address Green Bay's dismal ground game (dead last in EPA per rush). Lloyd has been mostly disappointing as the lead back and is now merely a handcuff to Jacobs. Given his poor performance to start the year, he probably doesn't warrant a bench spot moving forward.
